What do they mean?

[ddiplock]

I've noticed sometimes when i'm on the crew screen that there are little Golden Arrows next to some of the crew portraits.

What do these arrows mean? Anyone know?

Thanks :)

I believe they mean that the crew member has just gone up a level. When I look at the crew members with arrows they always have very little xp towards the next level.

aren't it special skills?

[seaniam81]

depends where they are. Skills bottom right hand corner of crewman's picture, level up arrows bottom right hand corner

Available for promotion :hmm:

[Schroeder]

The golden arrows are indicating that a crewmember has been promoted recently.:know:

How is that possible when I haven't promoted any of them?? As its a first patrol?? :88)

[seaniam81]

the game will automaticly promote from ranks 1-3, 4-6, 7-9. you will have to promote to get a guy at rank 3 to rank 4, and so forth. However if your running 1.5 it works a little differntly and you manually promote everybody except the chiefs

[buddha95]

asked many times
can chiefs be promoted??
mine dont gain exp EVER.

:-? ...Well...I dunno...yesterday I took a gander at the crew screen, in the middle of a patrol, and suddenly there were arrows eveywhere...less than 10 minutes later they were all gone...those arrows were definitely not there when I left port....because of this very thread, I checked. They showed up while on patrol and went away while on patrol. Probably if I had not been paying attention I wouldn't have noticed them at all.


If they mean any of the things as stated above I can't see the reason they came and went like that...:nope:

For me the jury is still out on this one....:hmm:

I have promoted chief petty officers to comissioned officer rank....maybe a mod is hindering your crew's promotions.

I think it means that they had to go to the head:hmm:

I think it means that they had to go to the head:hmm:

Nope!, They are currently singing the long version of Stairway to Heaven that is why the arrow points UP.

I think you're on to something. I wonder what happens if they sing "Highway to Hell"? A red arrow pointing downwards?

Seriously, someone please solve this mystery before another joke is hatched:arrgh!:

They are in the process of promotion while on patrol is the answer. Wait 36-48 hours, they get promoted to a better class of specialization within their rank of specialty has been my observation.

[kylesplanet]

They are promoted at sea automatically. 1-3, 4-6, 5-7 etc... You promote every fourth position in harbor.

If you watch, as their experience is gained, they will go from seaman (1) up to seaman (3) (2500/2500) then you will be able to promote to 4 when your in harbor.
